It’s the season of glitz and glam, sharing and caring, fun days and crazy-fun nights – with plenty of restaurants and delicious food for you and your loved ones to enjoy.
Hot commodity
Cape Town’s Zeitz MOCAA has been one of the hottest topics of conversation for locals and tourists alike since opening its doors, and now with the introduction of Zeitz MOCAA FOOD, there’s even more to talk about. Having launched on 1 December 2017, this daytime eatery is still new to the Cape Town restaurant scene, but it’s making its mark with amazing 270-degree views of the Mother City, perfectly showcased from its sixth floor location. Visitors are loving the edible art the restaurant is becoming known for, with mouthwatering fare like sweet treats, light meals and bistro dishes on its menu. And don’t forget its signature dishes either – like the Zeitz MOCAA FOOD black ice cream – a vanilla and rose water-flavoured black dessert served in a black cone. Colour us intrigued, and hungry too!
